Small Strings in Rust: smolstr vs. smartstring
On the note of small strings, Compact String[1] was i believed released after this article and has a nifty trick. Where Smol and Smart can fit 22 and 23 bytes, CompactStr can fit 24! Which is kinda nutty imo, that's the full size of the normal String on the stack.. but packed with actual string data.
There's a nice explanation on their readme[2]. Love tricks like this.

Announcing `compact_str` version 0.7! A small string optimization for Rust
Not that I know of! As part of compact_str v0.6 we tried to make the API of CompactString 1:1 with String, inevitably we missed a few (1, 2, 3) things but they were fixed in this latest release.
... and more! Please see the CHANGELOG for more detail

Is there a type like `std::num::NonZero*` but for other values than zero?
(See the compact_str implementation as an example.)

Announcing `compact_str` version 0.6! A small string optimization for Rust
Along with performance improvements, this release includes implementing multiple methods for CompactString, to bring its API nearly 1:1 with String. The only exception being methods that don't have a direct port for a small string optimization, e.g. into_bytes, or methods that aren't yet stable. A full change log can be found here.

Announcing `compact_str` version 0.5! A small string optimization for Rust
Doing this has been on the back of my mind for a while, just filed an issue to track this! #119
-
Announcing `compact_str` version 0.4! A small string optimization for Rust
There's a draft pr for this.

Why is it so hard to get traction learning rust?
Here're a few projects I considered interesting (including my own project) and relatively easy to participate: - pushgen Push-style design pattern for processing of ranges and data-streams. - compact_str A memory efficient immutable string type that can store up to 24* bytes on the stack - openssh-rs Scriptable SSH through OpenSSH in Rust - pegasus A multi-node parametrized command runner with a focus on simplicity - concurrent_arena Container that can have elements insert/removed concurrently and uses a 'u32' as key.

Inlined string (in ~200 LOC)
I wrote something similar to compact_str, but it is: - a Box when on the heap - (so clone is O(n)) - (but still immutable) - 2 usizes in size
What are some alternatives?
When comparing readable and compact_str you can also consider the following projects:
string-interner - A data structure to efficiently intern, cache and restore strings.
smartstring - Compact inlined strings for Rust.
decancer - A library that removes common unicode confusables/homoglyphs from strings.
DIPs - D Improvement Proposals
festival - Music player
openssh - Scriptable SSH through OpenSSH in Rust
imstr - Immutable strings, in Rust.
zero-copy-pads - Padding/aligning values without heap allocation
flexstr - A flexible, simple to use, immutable, clone-efficient String replacement for Rust
smol_str
hrtime - A thin Rust library which converts seconds into a string of colon-separated time or vice versa.
pegasus - An SSH command runner with a focus on simplicity
